Old man Peng said that he couldn't remember many specific statements, but what he could remember was that the legend of Tima was a young man, and it was said that there was a Tujia village called Guitou Village at that time, and the owner of this village was suffering from a serious illness and dying soon, so he invited Tima to renew his life.

Tima said that his life should not be continued, but it can be found, so the owner of the village asked who it is, and Tima pointed to his son and said that this person can be founded, and the owner of the village gritted his teeth and agreed.

That night, the young Tima managed to tie up the owner's son, and then took the owner and his son to find a hidden place and began to cast a spell to let the owner take possession of his son's body.

But who knows, just halfway through the ceremony of Tima, the Miao people attacked the village and found a place of sacrifice, the ceremony was interrupted, the owner of the village and the son of the owner of the village were killed on the spot, and Tujia Tima escaped by luck, and then fled to this handful of Keiling.

After listening to the old man's words, I was tempted to question him about certain details, but I quickly resisted the urge.

Old man Peng is just telling me a story, although there are too many loopholes in it, or it doesn't make sense at all, but it's just a legend.

I want to question Old Man Peng because I think it's ridiculous, because I can't believe that there is such a nonsensical thing as transferring souls in this world.

But after what happened in Dong'ergou, I found that everything can't be too absolute, maybe these legends are just superficial, and there are more details or truths in them that have been lost.

However, this story also says that the Miao people attacked the village, so it is likely that there was a fight between the Miao and Tujia people back then, but since so many legends mention this battle, why is there no official record?

I was sitting at the head of the bed thinking about the story of the old man Peng, and after a while I heard intermittent snoring from the bed over there.

Early the next morning, Qiu Yan and I took out the dry food we had brought for breakfast, and then followed the second baby and the three dogs towards the mountains.

Originally, I thought that Erwa would not be willing to be our guide, but as soon as he saw me and Qiu Yan's full bag of snacks, he immediately agreed.

Erwa said that from here to the nearest village from Pujiling, you have to walk all day, he said that his grandfather took him to drive wild boars when he went to this village, now, this village is no one, we can only spend the night first, and then the next day on Pujiling.

After walking out of Ling'an Temple, Erwa took us on a relatively spacious village road, which was overgrown with weeds and wildflowers, coupled with the blue sky and white clouds overhead, it was also a beautiful scenery.

Along the way, Qiu Yan and I teased about what the future daughter-in-law of the second baby looked like, and soon it was noon, and we found a relatively flat place to sit down and eat some dry food.

Erwa pointed to the weeds in front of her and said:

"If you go further inside, you will enter the forest, there are many wild boars in the forest, and you will follow me when the time comes."

Looking at Erwa's manly appearance, I couldn't help but laugh:

"Does the boar know you? They won't arch us if they stick to you? ”

Erwa swallowed the snack in her mouth vigorously, and then pointed to the three dogs beside her and said:

"You know a sprinkler, if there is a wild boar at that time, the tiger will tell me, as soon as I hear the tiger call, I have to prepare to sprinkle."

I nodded, gave the three dogs a thumbs up, and said:

"Okay, then when we go down to the forest, it's up to you and Huzi to protect the two of us."

The second baby took a big bite of the biscuit, patted her chest and said:

"Of course, let me protect you, I will do what I say."

After eating, we rested for a while, and then, the second baby urged us to go on the road, and the second baby said that we had to pass through the forest at dawn, otherwise at night, there would be a lot of wild things in the forest, and there might be something strange.

We continued along the grass-covered path, and sure enough, after walking for a while, there was a forest in front of us, and the broad-leaved trees were full of branches, and the sunlight above us could not penetrate at all, and at first glance it seemed that the forest was completely dark.

I glanced at Qiu Yan, then touched the dagger hanging behind my buttocks, thinking that although these two babies were small, they were not so out of tune when they spoke.

As I entered the woods, I felt a chill all over me, the smell of decaying trees, and the sound of birds flapping their wings from time to time.

Erwa walked in front, his three dogs were gone, Erwa said that they were nearby, and when there was movement, they would bark to warn us.

I let Qiu Yan walk in the middle, and I walked at the bottom of the end, I don't know why, this forest always reminds me of the quagmire full of corpses that my great-grandfather once encountered.

After walking for more than an hour without danger, there was still no end in sight to the forest, and then I noticed that Qiu Yan's walking posture was a little wrong, so I asked her what was wrong.

Qiu Yan refused to answer, and kept asking me not to meddle in my affairs, I said in my heart that you are almost like a convulsion, how can you be nosy?

Finally, Qiu Yan couldn't help it, she told us to stop, and then asked us to wait for her.

It dawned on me at this time: people have three urgencies!

Before I could tell Qiu Yan not to go too far, her figure was already gone, and I heard a flock of birds flying in the direction where she disappeared, so I relaxed and sat down on the side of the road with Erwa.

I unscrewed the kettle, and before I could swallow a mouthful of water, I suddenly heard Erwa's dog bark, and Erwa heard the sound like a spring under her buttocks, and suddenly jumped up and shouted:

"Oh no, here comes the wild thing."

After saying that, the second baby whistled, and then I heard the sound of animals running around the forest.

I looked back in the direction where Qiu Yan disappeared, thinking that this Nizi was really, but she was in a hurry at this time.

I yelled at Qiu Yan, but no one answered, and I was about to shout a second time when Qiu Yan's screams came from there.

I knew it was bad, so I pulled out my dagger and ran.

The second baby shouted behind me, telling me not to run around, but where would I listen to a child at this time?

I was running towards Qiu Yan, and suddenly I saw a figure popping out in front of me, this person was Qiu Yan, she was running towards me with her pants in her hands.

Soon after Qiu Yan burst out, I saw a wild boar that was as big as a domestic pig burst out from behind her, and the wild boar bared its fangs and snorted all the way towards it like a tank.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the wild boar followed by three dogs, none other than the tigers.

When I waited for Qiu Yan to run closer, I grabbed her hand and pulled her to run frantically, but how could we run on two legs more than four? Soon, the boar was chasing after our butts.

Just when I was helpless, suddenly a gray shadow flashed in front of my eyes, and then I heard a wild boar behind me screaming, I looked back, it was Erwa who flashed past, he picked up a stick two or three inches thick from nowhere, flew over and knocked a stick on the wild boar, the wild boar may have been knocked stunned, standing in place and shaking his head for a long time.

Erwa threw away the stick, turned her head to look at us, and shouted:

"Why are you still stunned? Go up the tree! ”

After speaking, he took the lead like a monkey, and climbed up to a paulownia tree beside him in three times and two times.

I glanced back at Qiu Yan, who was fastening her belt.

We are surrounded by stout plane trees, this kind of tree is small to me, after all, when I was in the reconnaissance company, I have climbed everything, but I am very suspicious of Qiu Yan, although Qiu Yan has trekked through mountains and rivers in recent years, but such a thick tree with no support point, it is really difficult to say whether she can climb it.

At this time, the second baby had already settled in the tree, and he sat on the branch and shouted:

"If you don't come up yet, what about waiting for death?"

I didn't have time to explain to Qiu Yan, so I snatched her trouser belt, and then jerked it out, and pulled out Qiu Yan's belt entirely, and then I untied my own belt, knotted them, and threw them to the second baby on the tree to fix them.

Qiu Yan was still holding her pants and looking at me puzzled, and I didn't care much, so I picked her up and lifted her into the air.

Qiu Yan shouted:

"He Zimu, what are you going to do?"

I also shouted:

"Grab the belt!"

"My pants!" Qiu Yan continued to shout.

I looked up and understood, Qiu Yan didn't dare to let go of her pants, otherwise she would fall off.

I glanced down at the boar again, and the tiger was already entangled with the boar, but the boar had thick skin and a pair of long fangs, and the dogs did not dare to get very close, but only attacked it vigorously.

Seeing that the wild boar was about to find me when he came to his senses, I shouted to Qiu Yan:

"It's all here, it's important to save your life, so don't worry about your pants!"

"He Zimu, you bastard!" Qiu Yan scolded, but still refused to let go of her pants.

In desperation, I had no choice but to let her down, then bent down and pulled a few sticks of grass to tie Qiu Yan's pants, and then lifted her up again.

This time, Qiu Yan stopped resisting, and I could feel her weight suddenly lighter, which proved that she was climbing up.

By this time, however, the boar had spotted me, snorted twice, chased away the tigers, and then turned around and charged at me again.

At this time, Qiu Yan had already grabbed the branch with the help of Erwa, but there was no room for me on the tree.

As a last resort, I had to choose another tree.

Who knew that when I rushed over and jumped on the trunk of the tree, it actually slipped down all at once, it turned out that the woods were dark and damp, and the trunk was covered with slippery resin, and my hands could not be used at all.

My hand rubbed against the bark and a few pieces of it were painful, but I didn't have time to take care of the wound, for the boar had rushed to me.

I dodged and jumped to avoid the boar's collision, and then I looked for several trees in a row, but found that they were all slippery, and I really don't know how the second baby climbed up.

At this moment, I saw the belt hanging on Qiu Yan's tree, and I had a plan.

I ran to the back of the tree, waited for the boar to rush over, and when the boar was about to get under the belt, I suddenly ran towards the boar, and at the moment when the boar was about to hit me, I jumped up, and then stepped on the boar and grabbed the leash, and then I curled up in the air, and then suddenly unfolded, and finally, under the action of inertia, I grabbed the branch of another tree with the belt.
